Stock car racing events in the NASCAR Xfinity Series has been held at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina since the series' inaugural season in 1982. Currently, the track hosts two races for the series: the Crown Royal Purple Bag Project 200 in the spring (on the same weekend as the NASCAR Cup Series' Goodyear 400) and the Sport Clips Haircuts VFW 200 in the fall (on the same weekend as the Cup Series' Southern 500). Both races are 200 miles (320 km) in distance.

Initially only one race was held, but starting in 1984 the track hosted two races per year until 2004 when the track lost its fall weekend date as a result of the realignments caused by the Ferko lawsuit. A realignment in 2015 moved the spring race to the pre-Ferko fall slot. The emergency schedule realignment for 2020 resulted in Darlington regaining its second Xfinity date, which became permanent starting from 2021. The track is scheduled to downscale to just one race in 2025.^[2]
